Atlantic Coast Conference

After a roller coaster season that has included both a 10-game win streak late in the year and some ugly losses early, the Hurricanes headed up to the ACC Tournament knowing if they wanted to earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament, they’d likely have to win the conference championship outright — or, at the least, make the tournament championship game.

After some late game heroics, all of those goals are still within reach.

The Hurricanes rallied to plate five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and then held on in the ninth for a 6-2 win over Notre Dame in their ACC Tournament opener Tuesday night at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
